Are you suggesting give out /32 PI to every AS?

If so:
 Please don't add 40-50k routes to the global internet routing table if
people aren't actually using them.
 You might want to make a clarification that you verify that the ASN is
still in use and the organization actually wants PI vs PA - before assigning
it a /32.

If doing this through PA is also acceptable - you'd have to give larger
allocations to ISP's.  Their actually are some organizations that do not
want to obtain and maintain their own IP space.

No it would encourage them to route it - which is not the same as using it.

This last idea, is not *so* bad ..in that it gives you a means to measure -
and is along the lines of the 'demonstrate you are making some effort with
v6' requirement that's been suggested.  However it pushes enforcement to the
part of the cycle when they come back for IP's.

Some considerations..

I ask for IPv4
I get IPv4 + IPv6 and get told to put our public website on IPv6 as well
I come back for more IPv4 - and then what?
Do I get denied because I have enough IP's with IPv6?
What if my public website is available on v6 -- but I want more v4 for my
customers?
Do I get denied because my public website isn't reachable by an IP in the
IPv6 allocation I got?
What if it's reachable on some other IPv6 IP?
What if I contract out my public website to some company who doesn't do IPv6
yet despite all my requests for them to do it... and the IP's I'm asking for
are for my corporate network, or my customers?   I have to change webhosting
vendors in order to be able to have my website on v6, in order to be able to
get more IP's for the rest of my business?
